I love making the fringe on a free form. Just find everything green in the house, then attach it, in stringy form, anywhere you like along the edge.
These two show the ends: beads, rings, corkscrews, buttons, plaits and tassels.
Then along the edge more of the same.

I am very pleased with the result. It certainly paid to choose colours first and have beads and buttons that blended close at hand. Mind you it made the living room a bit messy to say the least.
Lessons learned? I wish I had started by combining small scumbles into larger patches as I did later and I will when time allows make the fringe denser along the back.
I think this is the first truly free form that I have done. With the others I had an idea what I was making right from the start, with this one it sort of evolved into a shawl. I hope you like it
